TL;DR
CEX copy trading (Bitget, Bybit, eToro, Binance) means a custodial platform holds your funds, takes 10–30% of your profits, restricts access by country, and shows performance data you cannot independently verify. On-chain copy trading on Solana means your funds stay in your wallet, fees are 0.1%, every trade is verifiable on Solscan, and there are no geographic restrictions. The regulatory environment in 2026 — including the SEC/CFTC 'Project Crypto' framework and the repeal of the DeFi broker rule — explicitly favors non-custodial on-chain platforms.
